A verdict in the Oscar Pistorius murder case will be delivered on September 11.
The televised case, which has been ongoing for five months, is set to come to an end next month when the judge announces her decision on whether the South African Paralympic sprinter deliberately shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29, in his home last year.
The 27-year-old athlete claims he accidentally fired the gun at his model beau through the closed door of a toilet cubicle after thinking she was an intruder in his home.
However, the prosecution believes Oscar killed her in cold blood following a blazing row.
Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel has urged judge Thokozile Masipa to dismiss Oscar's account of events as they were "devoid of any truth" and to convict him of pre-meditated murder.
The sprinter's defence lawyer, Barry Roux, believes Oscar's disability played a role in the killing as it had made him vulnerable and anxious about crime.
Oscar pleaded not guilty to murder and three separate firearm charges.
However, if he is found guilty of murder he could face life in jail or 15 years in prison if the court finds him guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide.

Robin Wright has branded Hollywood actors "well-paid animals in a zoo".
The 48-year-old star - who has appeared in big movies such as 'Forrest Gump' and 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' - has hit out at today's celebrity culture because she believes it is turning stars into "commodities".
She said: "For actors in Hollywood, it's very straightforward. We're well-paid animals in a zoo. And if you agree to play the dog-and-pony show, and smile on the red carpet, and show up at every f***ing envelope that's opened, then you can become a celebrity and become a commodity.
"But if you choose not to do that, you are seen as not bankable."
Following her success in movies such as cult film 'Forrest Gump' - in which she played Tom Hanks' on-screen wife Jenny - Robin became a household name but she believes she didn't go on to achieve such high acclaim as some of her fellow female actresses at the time because she turned down so many films.
The actress - who has sons Dylan Frances Penn, 23, and Hopper Penn, 21, with ex-husband Sean Penn - added to The Guardian newspaper: "Oh yeah, they wanted to make me America's sweetheart.
"They wanted to make me the next big ingénue, the studio bosses behind the curtain. But what happened was that I turned down a lot of movies that simply didn't blow my dress up. Plus I was too busy being a mom at the time."

Pippa Middleton is selling her bicycle for charity.
The 30-year-old socialite - the sister of Britain's Duchess Catherine - is auctioning her Race Across America Dassi 6.2 Aero road bike on eBay to raise money for the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
The brunette beauty and her team of eight completed the Race Across America, a 3,020-mile coast-to-coast journey, in June in the hope of raising funds for the BHF and the Michael Matthews Foundation.
The auction began last Sunday (03.08.14) and will end on Wednesday 13, with the proceeds being split between the two charities, along with the £20,000 Pippa has already raised as part of the challenge.
She said in a statement: "The challenge of riding across the Rockies, coping with the heat of the Arizona desert and climbing over 170, 000 vertical feet in the six days was incredibly tough, but every inch of the 3,000 mile race was worth it, to help the BHF fight heart disease.
"I wanted to complete this challenge to help raise awareness of the importance of heart health after learning that coronary heart disease kills nearly three times more women than breast cancer.
"So whether you're inspired to get fit or you're a cycling fanatic wanting to add to your bike collection, take a look at my bike and put in a bid. I'm keen to raise as much money as possible to help the BHF fund life-saving heart research."

The Lonely Island team are making a new movie for Universal. The comedy triumvirate - which comprises Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone - were the brains behind 'Hot Rod', the 2007 comedy film that also featured Isla Fisher, Danny McBride...

Terry Gilliam has confirmed shooting for 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote' will start shortly after Christmas.
Gilliam, 73, has been trying to make the film - inspired by Miguel De Cervantes' 17th Century Spanish classic Don Quixote - for some time, and it now finally appears to have been given the go-ahead.
He told TheWrap.com: "I keep incorporating my own life into it and shifting it. The basic underlying premise of the version Johnny [Depp, who was due to star in the film] was involved in was that he actually was going to be transported back to the 17th century.
"And now it all takes place now, it's contemporary. It's more about how movies can damage people."
Gilliam - a member of the 'Monty Python' comedy troupe - added: "I've done it so many times - or not done it so many times - I'll believe it when I see it. However, I'm behaving as if it's all going to happen as planned."
Casting for the film is ongoing, and Gilliam refused to divulge any secrets as to who may appear in the film when it finally hits cinema screens.

Status Quo's Rick Parfitt is expected to return to the stage next week following his recent heart surgery.
The 65-year-old rocker underwent a major operation to have a stent fitted after he was taken ill earlier this week, but he's hoping to make a rapid recovery and perform with the rest of his band mates at Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire, next Friday (15.08.14).
The group's manager, Simon Porter, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We are all obviously delighted Rick has made such rapid progress, ­especially as the band is shortly to unveil another exciting and innovative new project, details of which will be announced in the next couple of weeks."
Rick, who has battled with drugs and alcohol in the past, was airlifted to Royal Brompton Hospital, South West London, on Monday (04.08.14) after he became unwell on the band's tour bus in Pula, Croatia.
Status Quo were forced to scrap six dates of their European tour following the health scare.
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time the guitarist has undergone a major operation as he had a heart bypass in 1997 after doctors warned him that his wild partying could kill him.
Rick resides in Spain with his wife Lyndsay ­Whitburn, 54, and six-year-old twins Tommy and Lily.

Charlie Simpson is forming a band with his two brothers.
The 29-year-old musician and his musical older siblings Edd and Will intend to release an album together under the name Once Upon A Dead Man and have already started writing songs as a trio.
Charlie is very excited about making music with his brothers because the three of them are so close.
He told BANG Showbiz: "My two brothers are in bands and we've been talking about doing a project together called Once Upon A Dead Man. We're just starting to write songs, although it's probably a couple of years away.
"I think that it's going to be a great thing to do. My brothers were the best men at my wedding and we're the best of friends and we've always wanted to do a project together so that will be really exciting.
"They're my two older brothers. One of them is in a band called Union Sound Set, they've just releases their second record. And my other brother Will was in a band called Brigade and he's now performing in a new band called More Dangerous Animals that do a lot of rock stuff.
"It's amazing to be able share my love of music with my brothers, when we all go home all we ever talk about is music. It's a great thing to be able to share that with your brothers, we're so close."
Charlie - who has just released his second solo album 'Long Road Home' - says he and his brothers want to make an electronic-sounding LP but they are still yet to finalise their sound.
The former Busted star - who is playing The Roundhouse in London on October 14 - explained: "We're toying with it being an electronic record because we don't want to make something that sounds like anything we've done before individually. If you've heard the 'Drive' soundtrack I want it to be something like that, and we're all big fans of The Postal Service.
"We want it to be something that's melodic but that has an electronic element to it. We haven't quite figured it out yet, we've written two songs so far that I think are really cool but it's a case of us trying to find out what the sound is going to be."

Helen Flanagan wants to release an underwear line.
The former 'Coronation Street' star is keen to create her own lingerie collection, but she doesn't want her name to be linked to the brand because she's worried people who don't like her won't want to buy her designs.
Speaking in the new issue of FHM magazine, she said: "I want to have my own underwear brand. I've always been obsessed with Agent Provocateur because I think it's so classy, but also so cool, quirky and creative.
"It's really inspired me. I literally have the entire Agent Provocateur collection. I own everything they have."
She added: "I've been trying to find the name for ages - I have a few ideas that I'm working on. I won't have my name in the brand, because then people that don't like me won't buy it. And I can't have that, because people either really like me, or they really don't."
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old beauty - who flaunts her curvaceous figure wearing a tiny pair of bikini bottoms in the magazine - recently admitted she wanted to be less sexy and more natural.
She said: "I'm scaling back my sexy look. I used to wear lots of make-up, fake tan and fake eyelashes, but I've decided that less is definitely more. Now I love to use make-up to contour my face and make the most of my natural features."

Adam Garcia has claimed he's "pretty good" in bed.
The 'Got to Dance' judge, 41, believes he's got a talent when it comes to getting jiggy beneath the sheets, but is remaining tight-lipped on who the lucky lady is.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I'm pretty good in the sack ... I'm currently seeing someone, and yes, it's serious. Someday I would like children."
Adam's co-judge Ashley Banjo, on the other, has been with his beau Francesca for almost a decade and credits her for helping him remain level-headed throughout his rise to fame on ITV's 'Britain's Got Talent' with his dance troupe Diversity in 2009.
He explained: "I've been with my girlfriend for nine years. It's crazy. She's known me since I was a kid. She's been there throughout the whole transition and keeps me grounded."
Meanwhile, the 'Got to Dance' panel - who is completed by former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt - are on the hunt for the best dance act to win the prize fund.
However, the show this year will not only see the talented dancers go head-to-head, but also the judges, who have to pick their favourite acts and mentor them.
Adam said: "There was a point when we were competing against each other for the same acts and I got a bit upset when Ash or Kim got the acts I wanted. We have to pitch ourselves to the acts we want. We have to directly outsell each other."
Meanwhile, 'Got to Dance' will return to TV screens for the fifth series tomorrow (09.08.14) on Sky 1 at 8pm.

Verity Rushworth found her 'Emmerdale' exit therapeutic.
The 28-year-old actress, who returned to the show earlier this year, will bow out of the ITV soap next week when her alter-ego Donna Windsor dies, and Verity admits the tears she's cried during the emotional scenes have helped her deal with the departure.
She told SoapSquawk.com: "It's the end of an era, I grow up with the show and it felt like going home. It feels weird that it's completely, definitely, over for me.
"I had a break, which was lovely, and now it feels like I've gone full circle and it's completion. I feel like I have had therapy because of all the crying, it's like I've released all this emotion and now I'm ready to let it lie."
It is unknown whether Donna, who is suffering with Mesothelioma, will lose her battle against lung cancer or whether her dodgy dealings with Ross Barton (Michael Parr) will tragically cut her life short.
However, Verity - who played Donna for 11 years between 1998 and 2009 - admits the final scenes will be extremely dramatic and heart-wrenching for viewers.
She said: "It's very full on and she's going through turmoil. It's the big build up!"
